2013 Map of Burgdorf

About this map

Hot Springs and the small settlement of Burgdorf serve as the focal point for this high-altitude landscape within the Payette National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of mountain drainages, where Threemile Cr and Lake Cr carve through the terrain toward the south-flowing Secesh River. This area is a significant destination for backcountry travel, as shown by the intersection of Warren Wagon Rd and Burgdorf Rd, which provide access to the nearby Burgdorf Campground. High ridges are marked by prominent summits such as Bear Pete Mtn and Crystal Mtn, while more secluded reaches like Frosty Meadows and Bear Pete Lake reflect the remote character of Idaho's Salmon River Mountains. The layout of the roads and trails suggests a long-standing reliance on these corridors for reaching seasonal grazing lands and thermal springs.
